You can also try a charset attribute in your script tag, if you wanted
to display strings with umlauts that are defined in your script

(new Date()).getTime() is not the same as (new Date().getTime())
One uses the Date() Constructor to obtain the current date/time, then
obtains the millisecond timestamp from it with its .getTime() Method.
The other attempts to use the Date().getTime() Method as a Constructor,
which it isn't.

If you don't want labels at all, you can start with the StreetView
zoomed in. The labels are only shown at StreetView zoom zero.

SOLVED!!! I found this website that does what I want it to do...

That map throws an error in IE6 ; your doctype is invalidated because
you have a <div> and a <table> in front of it. You should put these
in the <body> somewhere.

&#246 is an XML entity code. When you put that into an infowindow,
which expects HTML, the browser can sort it out (XML and HTML have the

Tooltips don't use HTML entities, they display exactly what you give
them. This means that for Windows systems, it's fine to use "Das Gute
und das Böse in der Symbolik" (with o-umlaut) but that may not work
for maps displayed on Macs. Best solution is "Das Gute und das Boese
in der Symbolik"

I think that's fine. The principal reason for displaying a map is to
get the Google logo on to users' screens, together with the Terms of
Use and copyright text. Once is enough!

That's more doubtful. It appears your application is for internal use
-- your contracted engineers' details are only available to your

andrew.leac...@googlemail.com (Andrew Leach) — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 14:29:38 UT

One way of doing this might be to have a global variable like
var makeNewMarker;
and then when you open your infoWindow set
makeNewMarker = true;
in your map's click listener, test for makeNewMarker. If makeNewMarker
is true, you could clear up the half-done marker (and then set
makeNewMarker to false, because you're no longer doing that; or keep

I now reckon that Google have used the Custom HTTP header so that

Disabling event listeners

hung.christ...@gmail.com (Christine) — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 14:06:14 UT

Hi there,
I was wondering if there was a way to either create and remove map
listeners (or temporarily disable them while an infowindow is open).
My markers have an info window with a user entry form pop up, but when
the map is clicked before submitting the data, it creates a new marker
without "finishing" the old one.

Hi all,
I am currently building a web system to allow my employer to view
available engineers for a given date/time, and within a geographic
area. The engineers (of which there are ~100) are not employed
directly (they are subcontractors), and would update their availablity
on this system.

What I am proposing to do is:
